Known bugs
This is a list of known bugs in the Etch-based DebianEdu, and please provide links to the bugs in the Debian BTS or the DebianEdu [http://bugs.skolelinux.org/ Bugzilla].
Fatal (can't make test CD with these)
- etch-cd from 2006-11-16 partitioning doesnt work, loops forever, etch-test works.
Important (need to fix before release)
- Missing user administration system
replace with cipux? -> three blockers:
- security review of cipux (the backend).
- automatic installation incl. configuration (in etch/sid)
- migration plan for existing wlus setups (Georg Damm wrote migration scripts)
- replace with GOSA? apt-cache show gosa
Source CD should include source for only the binary packages included -> set SOURCE=1. then we need to check if all the source packages from the binary packages on our CD are on that CD...
- Incorrect nagios v2 configuration.
- Empty resolv.conf in ltsp chroot after installation
- Wrong keyboard layout in LTSP, should be set by localization-config
Annoying (should fix if we have time)
CD is not signed -> setting SECURED=1 in CONF-$flavor.sh was not enough
- Artwork should be generally improved
- Setting up networking and Configuring network interfaces fail in the booting of ltsp clients, looks ugly.
Fixed
- Access to local devices for the console user (audio, floppy, etc)
- CD image do not install because of kernel version skew between the kernel and the module udebs on the CD.
- Fail to install on a HD where lvm have been used previously, this is fixed in D-I daily builds from sid (Verified 16/10-2006 -Ronny). Migrated to etch 20/10-2006
LTSP artwork -> added to ltsp preseed, ldm artwork ok.
- Broken LTSP boot, first client attempth fail to boot, after server is restarted - fixed in initramfs-tools 0.82.
Wrong keyboard layout in some countries. [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319859 #319859]
- usplash in ltsp booting clients.
- slapd fail to start because /var/run/slapd is missing. It need to be owned by openldap:openldap.
- Unstable CD build, no longer build broken CD when unable to reach the apt sources.
Installer fail if running in GUI mode [http://bugs.debian.org/282147 #282147]
LDAP NSS is broken [http://bugs.debian.org/375077 #375077] We have a workaround in the current cd's.
Package manager (adept) for KDE is missing in etch [http://bugs.debian.org/388023 #388023]
Please fill in with more info and links to the BTS's in the list above.
